True power doesn’t always roar - sometimes, it breathes in silence.
In a world that constantly demands motion, noise, and reaction, the ability to be still is rare - and powerful. Stillness doesnt mean doing nothing, it means being deeply present , centered and aware.
It’s the space where clarity replaces concusion , where calm replaces chos and where strength quietly grows.
When everything around you moves too fast stillness becomes your shield and your strength. It allows peace over pressure, and to stay rooted when life feels uncertain.

Dr. Hansa ji graced the 9th Annual Clinical Nutrition Bootcamp as an esteemed panelist at the Taj Santacruz. The event was organized by Dr. Sanjith Saseedharan (Director of Critical Care, S. L. Raheja Hospital) and featured a distinguished panel including Mr. Krishnaprasad (IPS, Ironman), Dr. Vishwanathan Iyer (Bicycle Mayor), Dr. Vatsal Kothari (Chief of Critical Care, Kokilaben Hospital), and Ms. Niti Desai (Celebrity Nutritionist). The gathering brought together doctors, clinicians, nutritionists, wellness experts, researchers, and postgraduate trainees for a meaningful exchange of insights.
In this session, Maa bridged ancient yogic wisdom with modern longevity research, explaining how rhythm, routine, emotional balance, and mindful living form the foundation of true well-being.
She shed light on the body’s natural healing intelligence, the transformative power of slow, steady breathing, and the profound impact of eating with the right bhava.
The discussion further highlighted how consistent yogic habits can influence longevity markers, and how movement, breath, and awareness merge into an integrated science that rewires both the brain and the mind. Together, the panel offered a clear and compassionate roadmap for rehabilitation after illness or stress, reminding us that lasting healing always begins within.

Yoga is often misunderstood as a series of poses or a goal to achieve perfection. But it's true essence emerges only when we let go of struggle , comparison and the urge to control. Resistance - whether in the body , the breath or mind createstension and blocks awareness. When we stop resisting we allow ourselves to be exactly present where we are. Every pise becomes an opportunity to listen , every beath a doorway to ease and every moment a lesson in acceptance.
